I am looking for a book series that upon completion will leave a feeling of emptiness, as if I'm saying goodbye to a good old friend, when you realize the good old days were left behind. It's a shitty feeling that only comes after something great, something that left a mark on you.

Cemetery of Forgotten Books by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

The Shadow of the Wind (2001)
The Angel's Game (2008)
The Prisoner of Heaven (2011)
The Labyrinth of the Spirits (2016)
The City of Mist (2021)

There could have been more but the author died in 2020. 😔

Shadow of the Wind is particularly excellent!

The author being a Latin author is quite attractive for me. I think this series will be my next read.

One again, thanks for the recommendation
